Since EPU is a version of "our gang", as shaman, founder and one unspecial person also in need of some serious laughs, I hereby delegate/request/beg/plead that G4A be in charge of the laughter department, perhaps starting a special thread, perhaps sending a PM to key active members to ask them for help, and otherwise recruiting us all and helping to point us to YouTubes, books, audios, upcoming TV specials, key current comedians, etc. The list on that video of the ones who are gone now might be an especially good place for us each to start our search. And we might argue for our all-time favorites... Bob Uecker and Johnny Carson should be on that list too... -------------------- "Every [weapon developed and used] signifies, in the final sense, a theft....

Jackie Gleason in a video now so out of place and almost quaint... that one just has to laugh Jackie endorsing Richard Nixon (no really...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_C9vGEJXTU one is sure this must be deadpan...but he appears to be serious... Maybe, with all we know...maybe Jackie is correct... -------------------- magmak1- “hallucinating in an echo chamber If you do not see the mindset and the actual behaviors both on and off the web, then you’re blind.

This was Johnny Carson's last appearance on television. One of the most thrilling moments in television history. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvaUa559gMw&feature=related -------------------- magmak1- “hallucinating in an echo chamber If you do not see the mindset and the actual behaviors both on and off the web, then you’re blind.

Not like today, when it is all so scripted, and the so called star is just promoting something. Jimmy Stewart read this poem (while the poem is heartwarming and heartbreaking and not funny), it shows Johnny's warm hearted side as he wells up a little listing to Jimmy tell the story of BEAU, his dog (one of those things that I saw on the air the night it happened, and who knew all those years later you could just click a few keys on youtube and there it all is Beau by Jimmy Stewart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUNJjIwlHk8&feature=related -------------------- magmak1- “hallucinating in an echo chamber If you do not see the mindset and the actual behaviors both on and off the web, then you’re blind.

I referenced Bob Uecker, and the one I thought of was his very first appearance on Carson in which he made fun of himself and talked about how he came out onto the playing field for the first time and, at the right moment (and told with exceptionally good humor timing/technique), the other party in the tale told Bob that .. well, ... the jockstrap goes on the inside. -------------------- "Every [weapon developed and used] signifies, in the final sense, a theft....
